It has been yet another record month for specialist Work Based Learning and Further Education job site, www.FEcareers.co.uk

It has been yet another record month for specialist Work Based Learning and Further Education job site, www.FEcareers.co.uk. Record numbers of NVQ Assessors, Internal Verifiers, Tutors, Lecturers and Managers have continued to visit FE Careers for their next career move. FE Careers advertise job vacancies across the entire Further Education sector, with vacancies from FE Colleges, Work Based Learning Training Providers, Charities and specialist Recruitment Agencies.

FE Careers and her sister news website FE News have continued to attract new visitors and retain a loyal band of Further Education specialists. FE Careers and FE News are strategic marketing partners with the Association of Learning Providers (ALP), the Institute of Assessors and Verifiers (IAV) and the Association of External Verifiers (AEV). Through these partnerships FE Careers and FE News are able to offer tailored recruitment advertising and news services to a cross section of the Further Education industry.

FE News has just been signed up to provided news feeds to Learningandskillsweb.org.uk a DfES and Learning and Skills Council funded website which provides information to the FE industry.

February saw nearly 1 million hits, 320,000 page views, over 53,000 visitor sessions and 16,500 unique visitors. This is a 14% increase on the previous record month in January.

The CEO of FE Careers and FE News is especially pleased with the results. We snatched a few moments with Gavin who explained ìWe are delighted with our results in February. We had a further healthy increase in job seekers and news readers, but we also had an increase in organisations advertising their job vacancies, and organisations advertising their services. The advertising space on FE News is nearly all booked out until May 2006. We are starting campaigns for a variety of different services to the FE market. We have also had campaigns ranging from the CEL (Centre in Excellence in Leadership), to Ento Direct, Ariam Media, Momentum PR. We are even attracting advertisers from Oxbridge with Lucy Cavendish College.

We are also really pleased that we have increased the number of FE Colleges advertising on FE Careers. We have had around 25% of our advertisers from FE Colleges; this month has seen this increase to 30% of our job advertisers from FE Colleges. FE Careers main strength is in Work Based Learning job advertising, this is fuelled by our partnership with the ALP, the IAV and the AEV, but our unique position is that we advertise vacancies across the entire FE sector.î

FE Careers have recently launched several satellite job sites to target niche areas within Work Based Learning and Further Education. It sounds like College jobs.co.uk has made an immediate impact for FE Careers, and the record number of NVQ Assessor job seekers could be down to the satellite site assessor jobs.co.uk. At the beginning of the year FE Careers launched Assessor jobs.co.uk to attract NVQ job seekers, Tutor jobs.co.uk for FE, Employability, Key and Basic Skills Tutors, Vocational jobs.co.uk, Training Provider jobs.co.uk and College jobs.co.uk. www.fecareers.co.uk www.fenews.co.uk
